HIV factors involved in infection and progression
Retrovirus

Transmitted by sexual contact and IV drug use, can be transmitted across placenta and in breast milk
Life cycle of HIV
HIV attaches and enters cell by endocytosis, uncoats and synthesizes DNA, integrates and then synthesizes RNA, releases from cell and assembles and matures
Causes AIDS, replicates only in humans and destroys immune system

, ocular herpes (latent recurrence)
